This page, and its
subsidiary pages, are being developed primarily as a place to store
available information about Pseudoroegneria; they do not reflect
research that I have done. Anyone is welcome to use the information.
In the old days, notes such as these would have been stored in a file
cabinet, not made publicly available. I am placing them on the Web
for my convenience; if you find them useful, great. I welcome comments and pertinent reprints and will
try to incorporate them into the site, with appropriate credits as time
permits. Since writing that, Dr. Bjorn
Salomon has kindly sent additional information.

Warning!
The genomic composition of many of these entities has been inferred, not
determined. Eventually I plan to find out, and add to these pages, for
which species it is known - and whether known via cytology or DNA
analysis. If sending me information, please cite the relevant
publication.

Species of Pseudoroegneria
are, in general, out-crossing and self-incompatible. They also have an
astounding ability to distribute and accept pollen, from their own and
other species. Unfortunately, 'other' species does not mean just other
species of Pseudoroegneria. This, combined with their
self-incompatibility, presents major obstacles to the development of
'pure' lines as well as the maintenance of genebank
accessions.

Species

Taxonomic
listing. The following table is based on Löve
(1984). Pseudoroegneria strigosa is the type species;
hence its distinctive color in this table.

[subsp.
shingoensis is based on the same type as subsp. cognata
and is, therefore, not a valid name (Cope
1982). It also implies that there are
not two entities involved. If there are, someone needs to demonstrate the
fact and provide a name, based on an appropriate type
specimen, for the non-cognata element].

subsp. shingoensis

Ps. cretacea

[included
in Ps. stipifolia by Melderis and Tsvelev]

Ps. divaricata

subsp.
divaricata

Rocky
limestone slopes; 1000-2700 m. [Melderis includes in Elymus
lazicus, a name not cited by Löve]
